Chanel Rouge Magniqifique & Rouge Spectaculaire Rouge Allure Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches
Rouge Magnifique (827)
Chanel Rouge Magnifique (827) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium orange-red with strong, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips in a fluid stroke. The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy, and went on effortlessly but didn’t feel “wet” as it went on. The color stayed on well for five hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$45.00/0.12 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "satin finish" with "ultra-thin pigments" that yield "full coverage" while also having a moisturizing base. Most shades in the range have a satin to luminous finish--not glossy but they have a luminosity to them that gives the appearance of lighter-weight color and smoother, fuller lips that a true satin finish doesn't have (in my experience).
The texture has a more velvety feel--smooth with great glide but not a lot of wetness, so they go on comfortably but feel very lightweight and thin but don't emphasize lip lines/lip texture. The coverage tends to be more semi-opaque to opaque, so they aren't always living up to the "full coverage" claim.
Most shades wear four hours or longer with some of the deeper and richer hues lasting six hours or more, and the formula has been hydrating for me. They have a subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Rouge Spectaculaire (837)
Chanel Rouge Spectaculaire (837) Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark ruby red with subtle, cooler undertones and barely-there ruby pearl paired with a luminous finish. The consistency was incredibly lightweight with a smooth, velvety texture that glided on easily and delivered smooth, even coverage in a single stroke. The pigmentation was nearly opaque and lasted well for six hours while feeling hydrating while worn.
